Absolutely Michael! For me, it always comes back to "how do you measure success?". Can you measure better collaboration or increased innovation? And can you track those metrics for those in office versus remote?

I think this is part of the reason why RTO policies in general have struggled - can you clearly measure a difference in performance when folks are in the office? And can you communicate that performance change back to the employees?

I think it's probably true that being in the office increases collaboration and innovation. But if we can't clearly measure that (maybe engagement surveys are an imperfect option?), then I think the next best thing is to use these motivators to incentivize the behaviors we want to see.
